I think the concern troll reaction comes from women being as one person put it, damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

So true. When girls and women know the effort behind the finished look it’s not damaging to their self-image not to look like that. You realize that unless you’re single or this is part of your work this might not fit into your schedule and that’s fine. If you like it you’ll buy the products for the week-ends and…

I like it on Katy Perry and Olivia Wilde. Irl I've liked it better on women with dark eyes but it really is more of a fun thing like neon nail polish.

I used to have a routine that was almost this complex partly because I had problem skin but also because my mother also did. Then stuff got in the way, allergy to eyeshadow, family duties, college, work then college again and work at the same time. Recently I had to be photographed, just me, not as part of a…

It seems to be a recurring trend. Every 2 or 3 summers companies trot out blue, purple or green liner or mascara. It looks good on the right people though it's never done a thing for me.

I admire your routine. Mine pales in comparison and this reminded me I need to step it up again.

It allows heavy earrings to be displayed properly both on the jewelry stand and my ears that’s all I need to know to keep them on. I’ve even bought some from the jewelry store to use with earrings that hadn’t come with them for that reason: they stop heavy or long earrings from tipping over.

Look if you’re not aware that black people have been and are being dicriminated against for being black which means for looking black which means for having african looking hair and skin then keep living in your alternate reality. And in this instance with Allure, yes, it is the same white people, the same white…

I think that’s the point you’re missing. The afro couldn’t be a style before it was called an afro because afro isn’t a style, it’s the way most african people’s hair is. When black people decided to show they loved themselves as they are despite having been told their looks were inferior by whites during all of…

I used those examples because while not every single member of each race has those features, enough of them do to make it a kneejerk way to describe them and/or make fun of them. That's why it's annoying when white people have put or are putting people of other ethnicities down for a feature and decide that this year…

I don’t get what happened to homeschooling. It used to be something parents who had to live far from schools or those who had gifted children that were bored by regular schoolwork. If anything the kids got a better and more varied education, now it seems more often like a way to hold kids back, doesn't the state keep…

That’s a good idea or a festival.

Amen, I was curious about First Nations for the longest time and finally took a class at university discussing various tribes from the crossing over from asia tens of thousands of years ago to first contacts with whites. It was fascinating but I wished we learned this in high school as much as about ancient greeks.…

The style is called an afro as in..african. Just by saying to anyone of any other origin but african that they can have it like it was a novelty item the article is being insulting. It would be like writing an article about using eyeliner and instead of saying that they added ,you too can have asian eyes, how fun.

That style won’t last more than an hour or two unless you already have curly hair. Heavy straight hair will pull it down to waves.

The model isn't to blame for any of this. She didn't right the captions and people are allowed to style their hair any way they please, it's the mag who messed up by calling it an afro.

Aw, you're one of those sweet people who'd still be asking him questions instead of looking for a big flat rock to pound his dumbass fingers until he dropped like, er, a friend of mine, would.

I suppose not but the fact is that once upon a time men had ALL the jobs so they are bound to go into many where women would do better. The number of policemen anf male therapists who are involved in inappropriate incidents would lead me to think men should be screened more carefully before being allowed to join these…

Not to take anything away from his talent in Broadway shows but those who saw him in these performances all put together wouldn’t add up to a negligeable fraction of those who saw him as Potter. I was assuming we were discussing being typecast in the medium where you were most successful. I haven’t heard of any…

ATMs are refilled and serviced by humans anyways. I don’t know if other countries have more stringent standards but the guards employed by the companies who handle these tasks have been found to have criminal records whereas tellers had to not only be record free but provide character references. I can’t recall…
